That one will fit fine, but it's narrow and tall. If you want to fill up the entire nose, then go for one a little wider and shorter.
This one from eBay is the perfect fit for the nose of the Miata... it's what I run:

The one I use is the exact one I linked. It says the overall dimensions are 28"wide 7"tall 2.5"thick.
Any taller isn't really in the airstream. I think you could go thicker and there's definitely room for wider if you (like me) remove the big black plastic shroud in the nose... However, 28" is the exact width of the radiator... which puts the inlet/oulet in perfect position to attach 90* couplers and go straight back. If you go narrower, then you need actual pipes to get you out to the edge of the radiator and then back.
Here are pics of my IC setup. The cold-side is as easy as it gets.... and the hotside is even easier as I have no AC or PS and my comressor housing points down:

Just a 90*coupler on the end attaches to the IC, and I'm recirc'd now:

You can ad a pic fairly easy... just paste the link into the body of your post, and put the image brackets on either side... like: [img]link to pic[/img] and the pic will show up. Also, all of your existing posts will show an EDIT button on them so if you forget to ask a question, you can go back to your post and edit it to ask another instead of starting a new post just to ask another question.

alright...no more help until nudes of those girls find their way to my PM
if you already have that IC then go for it, you can make anything fit with some trimming, your obstacle on the NB will be the AC lines clearing the end tank, keep in mind you can bend those out of the way, just dont pinch them
look at the pics that i posted.
the first pic shows you how it fits exactly where you will have issues...your IC is 3" wider than the one i posted, so it shoud fit similarly, its just half an inch thicker, so no biggie there, now it is two inches taller so look at pic three and see how you are gonna mount it up top, your will be taller here, so to answer your question, yes it can fit, can you make it fit? that i dont know
pics of nude girls will get you more help...and im not the wrestler, thats my buddy thats his NB
really dude its really easy, just take of your bumper and go at it, you can buy that AL plate that i used at home depot for like 7-8 bucks and just get creative
good luck
